SERVING FIRST: After opening the 2018 season against a tough slate of opponents out west in California, the George Washington men's tennis team returns home to host Middle Tennessee State at the Trump National Golf Course on Friday at 10 a.m.

The George Washington men's tennis squad opened 2018 against some of the toughest teams they will face this season. In back-to-back action on Saturday, the Colonials fell to No. 13 Stanford (7-0) and then to the University of San Francisco (4-0). On Sunday, GW closed out its west-coast trip with a 7-0 loss to Pacific. Chris Reynolds took one game in the No. 1 position, battling Tadiwa Chinamo 6-4, 3-6, 10-8.

LOS ANGELES – In their 2018 season opener, the George Washington men's tennis team fell to No. 6 UCLA, 7-0, on Thursday afternoon. The Colonials faced a tough slate of competitors, as sophomore William Tutecky played against top-ranked Martin Redlicki, while Chris Reynolds played Keegan Smith, ranked No. 108 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings.

GW will look to take back their A-10 crown after falling short last season. The Colonials had previously won three consecutive A-10 titles and have won five in the last seven years. GW will face a tough slate of non-conference opponents and test itself in hopes to reclaim the conference title in April.
